Fiona Beattie
2026-2027 Seminarian Intern
Fiona Beattie grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, where she was raised in the PC(USA) tradition. She escaped the cold weather by going to Washington for her bachelor’s degree. There she studied Theatre, as well as English and Psychology at Whitworth University. She is currently pursuing a Masters of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary. Having developed an interest in ethics and philosophy during her college years, she hopes to continue to explore these topics during her time at PTS. Fiona hopes to use her background in theatre in conjunction with her current theological studies to find ways to better foster community amongst churches and the current generations.
